fall brings new beginnings

School is beginning in a matter of weeks. I'm not exactly dreading it, but I'm not eagerly awaiting it, either. I guess I've accepted that life is constantly moving on and I can't prevent it. Besides, school isn't all that bad; learning can be interesting at times, depending on the teacher and the subject, and I get to see my friends everyday. Life moves faster and is hectic, but in a good way. Summer's nice, but if it was year round it'd get boring after awhile, ya know? All good things are good in moderation. (And yes, I just used the same word twice in a sentence. Shhh.)

I'm particularly excited about the adolescent psychology elective I signed up for this year. I had wanted to take a different psychology class but they revoked it due to lack of teachers. It's not a big deal though, psychology intrigues me no matter what specific age group the course covers.

This year I'm going to be a more positive person. Last year I spent a lot of time moping around, hating on myself. It really wasn't healthy or good for my well being. But since then I feel that I've learned a bit about myself and who I want to be. I want to be happy and lively. I want to take chances and enjoy my high school years. I want to be an overall good person. I don't want to waste time on little things that won't matter in 5 years, and I don't want to participate in immature drama (it's high school, that stuff happens, a lot).

I just want to be happy, that's all. 

Cheers to a new year and a fresh start.
